A geniculata

He still has a dubia in his mouth and he raised high on his feet rubbing his but on the substrate and moving in circles. Is this happy dance, thickening substrate, molt prep? Not sure.
@Nyke Yep, that's it. My big girls with a large dubia roach can do that for hours while they eat.

With the video dark it's hard to see if your T has a premolt spot going on that's a better indicator of a molt.
 
Who did you buy the T from? that looks like a Nhandu coloratovillosus. the chelicerae are white and the legs looks very fluffy compared to a geniculata
 
@YagerManJennsen a friend gave it to me since he was moving to an apartment and they do not allow his furry friends. He told me it was brazilian white knee so I took his word for it. He mentioned it was due a molt soon but hasn't shown any signs yet.
 
Not to lessen the seriousness of the question or anything, but I just have to say that he's T-twerking!
 
@Trenor thanks. Just wanted to make sure because he was already on tip toes away from substrate before I fed him. Just very odd posture. Him being just rehoused, I was worried the substrate was too soft for him (coco fiber). And he totally ignored his rwady made hide and dug a hole under the water dish.

@doodledog hahaha. Maybe so.
 
@Nyke They start dropping web when they decide to settle in. Try burring the hide deeper so that only a small part of the opening is accessible without digging. A lot of times they wont use it if the think it's too open. I've had better luck doing this than leaving them open.

It most likely thought it could make a more secure burrow under the dish since it could dig out what it needed.
